Description
Why would mental health and high-security facilities need a ligature-resistant security waste for basins, baths or showers?
In mental health and high-security facilities, ligature-resistant fixtures, including basin, bath, and shower waste outlets, are critical to reducing self-harm risks. UK guidelines emphasize that ligature risks are particularly high in private spaces, like bathrooms, where patients are unsupervised. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) advises that these spaces should be regularly audited to remove or mitigate ligature points wherever possible. This includes implementing anti-ligature fittings for all fixtures to prevent them from being used as anchor points for ligatures. Fixtures in mental health units are required to meet specific design standards, with devices such as non-removable, concealed waste outlets in showers and basins.
